Hello, I'm interested in finding a general way to solve equations like the one below;
x+y+z=17,
xy+xz+yz=94,
xyz=168
something along the lines of:
x+y+z=a
xy+xz+yz=b
xyz=c
Where all variables are real.
I know this is linked to the cubic formula through vietas equations for cubics, but I was wondering if there's a way to find these without a link to cubics.
Thanks for any leads.
